Any way to watch the Eli Drink Press Conference?

Facebook Live. My work firewalls are preventing me from seeing it.

Surprised not broadcasting from the athletic website as well....very impressed with his intellect and first class approach to everything. Sounds like not skipping a beat from hearing Coach Moore and Coach Satterfield. So well versed in speaking to members of the media. Well put together man of high values with a faith based approach in life.

Watching it. Drink is sharp and excited. I like what I'm hearing.

For those of us that are not on Facebook, does anyone know if there will there be a way to watch a replay?

I have 200 MBPS service and all I'm getting is buffering and an occasional word. It's like a modem from 1989. Unhappy!

Oh, I did get to see Drink stop to ask for a drink of water. wowee!

It was fine on my phone. I would encourage everyone to watch if and when it's available. I would imagine it will be on YouTube soon.

Well, my damn iPhone and Apple Watch never went back to Eastern time when I got back from N.O. and I didn't realize it so I just missed the whole damn thing. I'm guessing they'll have it up somewhere for replay soon, I hope!

That was really really good! His answers were sincere and spot on. Zero hesitation. Welcome Coach Drink!

Overall impressed; especially with his offense thoughts and goals.
Defensively, I am reserving judgment.
He mentioned Clark and Watts by name and said they did a great job. Hope that bodes well for them.
Sounds like defense is Not his strong suit and is going to hire a DC and leave that part up to them (just my opinion)
Overall, I do think he can continue our success though

Coach Drink is a clAss act and can't wait to hear more from him and watch this team grow under his leadership!

"This is not a stepping stone job. This is a job coaching a Top 25 program."

That sums it up nicely.

I love that attitude. We are right there and this may be the guy to make us a regular in the top 25. He’s smart and determined in the way he speaks.

Was it just me or does it sound like he already has his offensive coaches in place?

It’s up on FB just with a little glitch. Fast forward a bit to get to the video and audio.

I didn't get that impression. He is meeting with the current staff tomorrow. Said he will be talking about keeping some. Spoke highly of Watts and Clark by name. Also said he would be the OC/play caller. Could free up some money.

Color me impressed. Appears well grounded, smart and as direct as possible with his comments. Pumped up for next season! I'm guessing it's too early for a Countdown clock?

I overall loved what he had to say. Head Coach needs to know how to "talk the talk" and he's got it. It was clear he wants us to keep great, but get better. But he also made it clear he's going to do it his way, which of course is expected. Could be some growing pains next year. But I have confidence he'll keep App State Football great.

I liked when Adam Witten stated at the end that he was surprised nobody asked about the Malik Williams/Zac Thomas QB controversy. Funny.
